Just yesterday, for example, Instagram announced that it was adding the capability to capture 15-second videos to its wildly popular photo sharing service. This puts Instagram (and its new owner, Facebook) in direct competition with Twitter-owned Vine, an app that lets users create and share six-second video snippets. The explosion of smartphones and tablets for both personal and professional use has put a high-quality camera in everyone’s pocket and services like YouTube, Viddy and Vimeo offer users a place to share their personal video content with the world.

In the world of business, video meetings have completely revolutionized the workplace, leading to an increasingly mobile workforce, globe-spanning business deals and partnerships and an empowered sales engine where time and distance are no longer barriers to closing the deal. Once reserved for the C-suite and limited to prohibitively expensive room-based systems, web and video conferencing now live in the cloud and on our smartphones, tablets, desktops and laptops and have democratized virtual meetings. Tools like iMeet® and GlobalMeet® are the catalysts for today’s business.
